oh they believe in *a* jesus
their jesus carries an AR-15, worships plutocracy, and hates trans people and immigrants
of course, that has nothing to do with the actual Jesus
so they are fake Christians, hewing to bigotry and ignorance and hate
a cult of violent morons
@liquor_american @benroyce @Strandjunker No true Scotsman applies an arbitrary, unrelated criterion.
I would say believing and (trying to) adhere to the core tenets of the teachings of God himself as described in the holy book seems pertinent and relevant to the classification.
These people go to the same churches and say the same things, but have a belief system so different from what the Bible says that I would say it warrants calling it a different religion altogether.
